Today, the market is known as one of the major references 
also in the field of gastronomy, due to the variety and quality of its restaurants, and the famous gastronomy festivals that have been taking place since 2013.
It’s no wonder that CADEG receives an average of 10,000 people per day and employs around 5,000 people per month.
During holiday seasons, sales at CADEG increase significantly. At 
Christmas, for example, the market is packed with shoppers looking to buy items for their Christmas dinner (especially the star of Christmas and CADEG: cod!). The fish is the standout product in the market, with sales of about 20 to 30 tons per month. This number increases considerably in December, when around 300 tons of cod are sold.
Finally, always thinking about what’s best for its customers, the Municipal Market of Rio de Janeiro – CADEG is increasingly investing in its infrastructure, featuring a large parking lot, escalators and modern elevators, easy loading and unloading, specialized cleaning staff, and 24-hour security.
